CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

This patent application is the U.S. national phase of International Patent Application No. PCT/JP2012/052308, filed Feb. 1, 2012, which claims the benefit of Japanese Patent Application No. 2011/021195, filed on Feb. 2, 2011, which are incorporated by reference in their entireties herein.

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to a patch and a patch preparation, comprising a support and an adhesive layer provided on at least one surface of the support.

BACKGROUND ART

Conventionally, various patches and patch preparations have been developed to protect the skin, administer a drug into the body through skin surface and the like.

Since synthetic rubbers used as an adhesive for an adhesive layer of a patch preparation do not have a functional group, they are preferable in view of the stability of a drug in the adhesive layer, and advantageously show good drug releaseability. However, due to the absence of a functional group, such synthetic rubbers are hydrophobic and, when an organic fluid component having high polarity is added to an adhesive layer, its low compatibility with the organic fluid component poses problems. That is, when the compatibility of the synthetic rubber and the organic fluid component having high polarity is low, the organic fluid component having high polarity blooms on the adhesive surface. As a result, the adhesive force decreases and the patch preparation adhered to an adhesion object is detached soon. Therefore, when an adhesive layer using a synthetic rubber as an adhesive is added with an organic fluid component in an attempt to impart a soft feeling to the adhesive layer, and reduce pain and irritation due to the skin adhesive force produced when detaching the patch preparation from the skin, only an organic fluid component having low polarity can be used as the organic fluid component, which also limits the drug to one with low polarity.

Examples of the documents aiming at resolution of the problem that occurs when adding a component having low compatibility with the adhesive to the adhesive layer include the following.

Patent document 1 discloses a patch preparation containing an adhesive, a hardly water-soluble drug, 3 kinds of organic fluid components for dissolution of the hardly water-soluble drug, and cross-linked polyvinyl pyrrolidone. Here, cross-linked polyvinyl pyrrolidone is added to maintain, in the adhesive layer, an organic fluid component having high polarity and low compatibility with the rubber-based adhesive. It is described that, in Comparative Example 4 in which the adhesive layer does not contain cross-linked polyvinyl pyrrolidone, an organic fluid component having high polarity bloomed from the adhesive layer and the adhesive force was not measured.

Patent document 2 discloses a hydrous adhesive composition containing polybutene, a non-ionic surfactant, and an oil-absorbing inorganic powder. This document describes that bleeding of hydrophobic polybutene from the hydrophilic hydrous adhesive composition was solved by the oil-absorbing powder. However, this document is completely silent on the bleeding of an organic fluid component having high polarity from an adhesive layer using a hydrophobic adhesive such as synthetic rubber and a method of solving the bleeding.

As a patch preparation containing magnesium aluminometasilicate in an adhesive layer, for example, patent document 3 describes a patch obtained by extending a plaster containing an A-B-A type thermoplastic elastomer, an alicyclic saturated hydrocarbon resin, liquid paraffin, an efficacy component, and magnesium aluminometasilicate. However, this document merely refers to a method of suppressing a decrease in the cohesive force of a plaster (adhesive layer).

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Problem to be Solved by the Invention

The problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a novel patch and a patch preparation, which are provided with an adhesive layer affording a sufficiently high adhesive force even when the adhesive layer contains a highly hydrophobic adhesive such as synthetic rubber together with an organic fluid component having high polarity which is less compatible with the highly hydrophobic adhesive.

Means of Solving the Problem

Effect of the Invention

According to the present invention, a patch and a patch preparation, which can prevent blooming of an organic fluid component having high polarity on an adhesive layer surface, and afford sufficiently high adhesive force, even if they contain a highly hydrophobic adhesive such as synthetic rubber together with an organic fluid component having high polarity which is less compatible with the highly hydrophobic adhesive, can be realized.

DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS

The patch of the present invention has an adhesive layer on at least one surface of a support and the adhesive layer contains at least a synthetic rubber having a viscosity average molecular weight of 500,000-1,600,000, an organic fluid component having high polarity, a tackifier and magnesium aluminometasilicate.

The patch preparation of the present invention further contains a drug in an adhesive layer of the patch of the present invention.

[Synthetic Rubber]

The synthetic rubber to be used in the present invention is a synthetic rubber having a viscosity average molecular weight of 500,000-1,600,000 (hereinafter to be also referred to as “the first synthetic rubber”), and is not particularly limited as long as the viscosity average molecular weight falls within this range. Using a synthetic rubber having such viscosity average molecular weight, the adhesive layer advantageously shows both good adhesive force and superior shape retention particularly when it contains a small amount of the organic fluid component (preferably 1 wt %-20 wt % of organic fluid component relative to the total weight of the adhesive layer). Specific examples of the synthetic rubber include polydimethyl siloxane, butyl rubber, ethylene-vinylacetate copolymer, ethylene-ethylacrylate copolymer, poly(alkylvinylether) (e.g., poly(propylvinylether), poly(isopropylvinylether), poly(butylvinylether) etc.), poly(2-methylpropene), poly(ethylethylene), poly(1,2-dimethylethylene), ethylethylene-1,2-dimethylethylene copolymer, polyisoprene, polybutadiene, styrene-isoprene-styrene block copolymer, styrene-butadiene-styrene block copolymer and the like. Any one or more kinds of these can be used in combination. Of these, branched aliphatic hydrocarbon polymers such as poly(2-methylpropene), poly(ethylethylene), poly(1,2-dimethylethylene), ethylethylene-1,2-dimethylethylene copolymer and the like are preferable, and poly(2-methylpropene) is particularly preferable, from the cost, handling property and the like.

Since synthetic rubbers have a viscosity average molecular weight of not less than 500,000, they have a comparatively long molecular chain and the molecular chains are well entangled. Thus, they can show both a good adhesive force and superior shape retention when a small amount of an organic fluid component (preferably 1 wt %-20 wt % of organic fluid component relative to the total weight of the adhesive layer) is added. An adhesive layer containing such synthetic rubber is superior in shape retention. Since a synthetic rubber having a viscosity average molecular weight of less than 500,000 shows an extremely low capacity to maintain an organic fluid component, when an adhesive layer containing such rubber contains even a small amount of an organic fluid component, the organic fluid component may ooze out from the adhesive layer. Even when the organic fluid component does not ooze out, the adhesive layer adhered to an adhesion object may be difficult to detach, or an adhesive residue may occur upon detachment, since the adhesive layer shows low shape retention. On the other hand, when an adhesive layer containing a synthetic rubber having a viscosity average molecular weight exceeding 1,600,000 contains a small amount of an organic fluid component, the skin adhesive force and tackiness tend to decrease.

The first synthetic rubber preferably has a viscosity average molecular weight of 600,000-1,500,000, more preferably 700,000-1,300,000.

The viscosity average molecular weight here is obtained by calculating the Staudinger index (J₀) according to the Schulz-Blaschke equation from the flow time of capillary of the Ubbelohde's viscometer at 20° C., and applying the J₀ value to the following equations. J ₀=η_(sp) /c(1+0.31η_(sp)) cm³/g  (Schulz-Blaschke equation) η_(sp) =t/t ₀−1 t: flow time of solution (according to Hagenbach-couette correction) t₀: flow time of solvent (according to Hagenbach-couette correction) c: concentration of solution (g/cm³) J ₀=3.06×10⁻² Mv^(0.65) Mv: viscosity average molecular weight

While the content of the first synthetic rubber in the adhesive layer is not particularly limited, it is preferably 5-50 wt %, more preferably 7-45 wt %, most preferably 10-40 wt %, relative to the total weight of the adhesive layer.

When the content of the first synthetic rubber in the adhesive layer is less than 5 wt %, the internal cohesive force of the adhesive layer may decrease, and when it exceeds 50 wt %, the adhesive layer may become hard and the tackiness may decrease.

When desired, the adhesive layer may further contain a synthetic rubber having a viscosity average molecular weight of 40,000-85,000 (hereinafter to be also referred to as “the second synthetic rubber”) together with the first synthetic rubber. Since the second synthetic rubber shows high flowability as compared to the first synthetic rubber, the use of the first synthetic rubber and the second synthetic rubber in combination suppresses separation of the first synthetic rubber, which is easily separable due to the low affinity, from a tackifier, whereby the adhesive layer can maintain adequate flexibility.

When the viscosity average molecular weight of the second synthetic rubber is less than 40,000, the affinity of the tackifier and the second synthetic rubber becomes too high. Therefore, the affinity of the tackifier and the first synthetic rubber may decrease and separation thereof may not be sufficiently suppressed. When the viscosity average molecular weight of the second synthetic rubber exceeds 85,000, the affinity of the second synthetic rubber and the first synthetic rubber becomes too high. Therefore, the affinity of the tackifier and the first synthetic rubber may decrease and they may be separated.

Specific examples (rubber kind) of the second synthetic rubber include those similar to the specific examples of the aforementioned first synthetic rubber, and one or more kinds thereof can be used. While the first synthetic rubber and the second synthetic rubber may be homogeneous or heterogeneous, they are preferably homogeneous in view of the compatibility thereof.

While the content of the second synthetic rubber in the adhesive layer is not particularly limited, it is preferably 5-50 wt %, more preferably 7-45 wt %, most preferably 10-40 wt %, relative to the total weight of the adhesive layer. When the content of the second synthetic rubber in the adhesive layer is less than 5 wt %, the separation of the first synthetic rubber and the tackifier may not be sufficiently suppressed, and when it exceeds 50 wt %, the internal cohesive force of the adhesive layer may decrease.

[Organic Fluid Component Having High Polarity]

The organic fluid component having high polarity in the present invention (hereinafter to be also referred to as “the first organic fluid component”) is fluid at room temperature (25° C.) (when two or more kinds are mixed, the mixture is fluid room temperature (25° C.)), and means an organic substance incompatible with the first synthetic rubber.

Here, being “incompatible with the first synthetic rubber” means that, when an organic fluid component (1 part by weight) and the first synthetic rubber (9 parts by weight) are mixed in the presence of an organic solvent compatible therewith (for example, toluene etc.) (50 parts by weight) until they become uniform, the aforementioned organic solvent is dried and removed and the obtained solid is preserved at room temperature (25° C.) for 1 week, bleeding of the organic fluid component can be confirmed by visual observation. The uniform mixing of the organic fluid component and the first synthetic rubber in the presence of the organic solvent is performed by, for example, manually stirring an organic fluid component, the first synthetic rubber and an organic solvent with a spatula for 30 min.

Such organic fluid component having high polarity and incompatible with the first synthetic rubber is specifically an organic compound having an angle within the range of 20°-80° as calculated by the following formula using an inorganic value and an organic value in an organic conceptual diagram (hereinafter this angle is also referred to as “angle on organic conceptual diagram”) (organic compound which is fluid at room temperature (25° C.)). Angle [°]=arctan(organic value/inorganic value)⁻¹×(180/π)

In the organic conceptual diagram, the properties of a compound are divided into organic value showing a covalent bond type (hydrophobicity) and inorganic value showing ionic bond type (hydrophilicity), and any organic compound is plotted on orthogonal coordinates with the organic value on the x-axis, and the inorganic value on the Y-axis. The organic conceptual diagram is explained in detail in “New edition Organic Conceptual Diagram Foundation and Application” (YOSHIO KOUDA, YOSHIRO SATOU, YOSHIO HONMA, new edition, SANKYO PUBLISHING, Nov. 30, 2008). In general, the closer to the organic axis, the higher the hydrophobicity, and the closer to the inorganic axis, the higher the hydrophilicity.

Examples of the organic fluid having an angle on the organic conceptual diagram of 20°-80° include glycols such as glycerol, ethylene glycol, diethylene glycol, propylene glycol, dipropyleneglycol, tripropyleneglycol, triethylene glycol, polyethylene glycol, polypropylene glycol and the like; non-ionic surfactants such as castor oil polyethoxylated hydrogenated derivative (castor oil polyethoxylated hydrogenated 40, castor oil polyethoxylated hydrogenated 50, castor oil polyethoxylated hydrogenated 60 etc.), polyoxyethylene sorbitan fatty acid esters (polyoxyethylene(20)sorbitan monolaurate, polyoxyethylene(20)sorbitan monopalmitate, polyoxyethylene(20)sorbitan monostearate, polyoxyethylene(20)sorbitan monooleate, polysorbate 80 (Tween80), polysorbate 60 (Tween60), polysorbate 40 (Tween40), polysorbate 20 (Tween20) etc.), polyoxyethylene polyoxypropylene glycol (pluronic F-68, PEP-101, poloxamer 188 etc.), propylene glycol fatty acid esters (propylene glycol monolaurate, propylene glycol monopalmitate, propylene glycol monostearate, propylene glycol monooleate, propylene glycol monobehenate etc.), polyoxyalkylene alkyl ethers (polyoxyethylene alkyl ether, polyoxypropylene alkyl ether (preferably polyoxyethylene alkyl ether, more preferably polyoxyethylene C₆-C₂₄ alkyl ether, particularly preferably polyoxyethylene lauryl ether) etc.) and the like; anionic surfactants such as sodium lauryl sulfate and the like; hydroxy acids such as lactic acid, glycolic acid, malic acid, tartaric acid, citric acid and the like; fatty acids such as acetic acid, capric acid, caprylic acid, lauric acid, oleic acid and the like; glycerin middle-chain fatty acid esters oleic acid, caprylic acid, lauric acid and the like (monoglyceride, diglycerides, triglyceride or a mixture thereof); esters such as ethyl lactate, cetyl lactate, triethyl citrate, dibutyl phthaliate, benzyl acetate and the like; C₁-C₁₄ monohydric alcohols such as saturated alcohols (e.g., methanol, ethanol, straight chain or branched chain propanol, straight chain or branched chain butanol, straight chain or branched chain pentanol, straight chain or branched chain hexanol, straight chain or branched chain heptanol, straight chain or branched chain octanol, straight chain or branched chain nonanol, straight chain or branched chain decanol, straight chain or branched chain undecanol, straight chain or branched chain dodecanol, straight chain or branched chain tetradecanol and the like), and unsaturated alcohols (e.g., straight chain or branched chain propenol, straight chain or branched chain butenol, straight chain or branched chain pentenol, straight chain or branched chain hexenol, straight chain or branched chain heptenol, straight chain or branched chain octenol, straight chain or branched chain nonenol straight chain or branched chain decenol, straight chain or branched chain undecenol, straight chain or branched chain dodecenol and the like); pyrrolidone such as N-methylpyrrolidone, N-dodecylpyrrolidone; sulfoxides such as dimethyl sulfoxide, decylmethyl sulfoxide; 1,3-butanediol; ethoxylated stearyl alcohol and the like. Only one kind of these or two or more kinds thereof may be used.

The first organic fluid component preferably shows the angle on the organic conceptual diagram of 25°-60°, from the aspects of drug permeation acceleration effect of the skin patch preparation.

One or more kinds of the first organic fluid components can be used, and the content thereof in the adhesive layer is preferably 1-20 wt %, more preferably 2-15 wt %, particularly preferably 2-12.5 wt %, relative to the total weight of the adhesive layer.

[Low Polarity Organic Fluid Component]

The adhesive layer can contain an organic fluid component having low polarity which has polarity lower than that of the first organic fluid component (hereinafter to be also referred to as “the second organic fluid component”). Such second organic fluid component is not particularly limited as long as it is an organic fluid having an angle on the organic conceptual diagram of 0°-19°. Examples thereof include fats and oils such as olive oil, castor oil, lanolin and the like; hydrocarbons such as squalane, liquid paraffin and the like; higher fatty acid alkylester (i.e. an ester of C₈₋₁₈ (preferably C₁₂₋₁₆) fatty acid with C₁₋₂₂ monohydric alcohol such as isopropyl myristate, isopropyl palmitate, ethyl oleate, isostearyl laurate, octyldodecyl myristate, octyl palmitate and the like, etc.); higher alcohol (i.e. C₁₆₋₂₂ alcohol such as straight chain alcohol (cetyl alcohol, stearyl alcohol, behenyl alcohol, oleyl alcohol, cetostearyl alcohol, hydrogenated rapeseed oil alcohol etc.), branched chain alcohol (lanolin alcohol, cholesterol, phytosterol, hexyldodecanol, isostearyl alcohol, octyldodecanol etc.) and the like, etc.) and the like. One or more kinds of the organic fluid component having low polarity (the second organic fluid component) can be used.

One or more kinds of the second organic fluid component can be used, and the content thereof in the adhesive layer is preferably 0-19 wt %, more preferably 5-18 wt %, particularly preferably 7.5-18 wt %, relative to the total weight of the adhesive layer.

When both the first organic fluid component and the second organic fluid component are contained, and when the total content thereof in the adhesive layer is too high, the shape of the adhesive layer becomes difficult to retain. While the content is not particularly limited as long as the shape of the adhesive layer can be maintained, it is preferably not more than 20 wt % of the total weight of the adhesive layer, from the aspects of simultaneous achievement of the adhesive force and the shape retention of the adhesive layer.

[Magnesium Aluminometasilicate]

Magnesium aluminometasilicate is an additive conventionally used in the drug pharmaceutical field for the purpose of improving the filling performance and tableting property of powder and granules, and the like. Magnesium aluminometasilicate is available under the trade name of, for example, Neusilin from Fuji Chemical Industry. In addition, magnesium aluminometasilicate is preferably an amorphous composite oxide of aluminum, magnesium and silicon atom, which are three-dimensionally polymerized via an oxygen atom. Such composite oxide is more specifically magnesium aluminometasilicate represented by the formula: Al₂O₃/aMgO/bSiO₂.nH₂O wherein a=0.3-3 and b=0.3-5. Due to its porous structure, such magnesium aluminometasilicate can stably maintain the first organic fluid component with high polarity.

The content of magnesium aluminometasilicate in the adhesive layer can be appropriately set and is not particularly limited. It is preferably not less than 1 wt % and less than 25 wt % relative to the total weight of the adhesive layer. When it is not less than 1 wt %, an organic fluid component having high polarity and incompatible with the first synthetic rubber (the first organic fluid component) can be maintained in the adhesive layer. When it is not less than 25 wt %, the adhesive layer becomes too hard, and the adhesive force may decrease markedly. When it is less than 1 wt %, the effect afforded by the addition of magnesium aluminometasilicate tends to be insufficient. The content of magnesium aluminometasilicate is more preferably 3.75-22.5 wt %, still more preferably 7.5-22.5 wt %, particularly preferably 7.5-22 wt %.

[Tackifier]

Examples of the tackifier include polybutenes, rosin resin, terpene-based resin, petroleum-based resin (e.g., petroleum-based aliphatic hydrocarbon resin, petroleum-based aromatic hydrocarbon resin, petroleum-based aliphatic-aromatic copolymerization hydrocarbon resin, petroleum-based alicyclic hydrocarbon resin (hydrogenated aromatic hydrocarbon resin) etc.), chroman resin and the like. It is preferably petroleum-based alicyclic hydrocarbon resin (hydrogenated aromatic hydrocarbon resin). One or more kinds of tackifiers may be used in combination. The proportion of the tackifier in the adhesive layer is preferably 5-50 wt %, more preferably 7-45 wt %, most preferably 10-40 wt %, relative to the total weight of the adhesive layer. When the proportion of the tackifier is less than 5 wt %, the tackiness may be poor, and when it exceeds 50 wt %, the adhesive layer unpreferably tends to be destroyed and the like.

[Drug]

The drug to be used for the patch preparation of the present invention is not particularly limited, and a transdermally absorbable drug, which can be administered to mammals such as human and the like through the skin, is preferable. Specific examples of such drug include general anesthetics, hypnotic sedatives, antiepileptic drugs, antipyretic analgesic antiphlogistic drugs, anti-vertiginous drugs, psychoneurotic drugs, central neurological drug, antidementia, topical anesthetics, skeletal muscle relaxants, autonomic drugs, antispasmodic drugs, anti-parkinsonian drugs, anti-histamine drugs, cardiac stimulants, drugs for arrhythmia, diuretic, hypotensive drug, vasoconstrictor, coronary vasodilator, peripheral vasodilators, arteriosclerosis drugs, drugs for circulatory organ, anapnoics, antitussive expectorant, hormone drugs, external drugs for purulent diseases, analgesic-antipruritic-styptic-antiinflammatory drugs, drugs for parasitic skin diseases, hemostatic drugs, gout treatment drugs, drugs for diabetes, anti-malignant tumor agents, antibiotic, chemical therapy agents, narcotic, quit smoking aids and the like.

The drug includes not only drugs in the form of a free base, but also physiologically acceptable salts thereof. While such salt is not particularly limited, examples thereof include, but are not limited to, formate, acetate, lactate, adipate, citrate, tartrate, methanesulfonate, fumarate, maleate and the like, and examples of acid addition salts with inorganic acid include hydrochloride, sulfate, nitrate, phosphate and the like. The drug may be a solvate, a hydrate or a non-hydrate.

In the patch preparation of the present invention, a drug having an angle on the organic conceptual diagram of 20°-80° is preferable, and a drug having an angle on the organic conceptual diagram of 22°-79° is more preferable. Such drug is compatible with the first organic fluid component having high polarity, and therefore, it is maintained highly and stably in the adhesive layer. While the content of the drug in the adhesive layer is not particularly limited as long as it affords the effect of the transdermal drug and does not impair the adhesion property of the adhesive layer, it is preferably 0.1-50 wt %, more preferably 0.5-40 wt %, relative to the total weight of the adhesive layer. When it is less than 0.1 wt %, the treatment effect may be insufficient, and when it exceeds 50 wt %, the proportion of the adhesive in the adhesive layer becomes too small and the adhesive layer may not show a sufficient adhesive force.

While the support to be used in the present invention is not particularly limited, a support substantially having impermeability to the constituent component (particularly organic fluid component) of the adhesive layer and, particularly in a patch preparation, a support that does not permit a drug in the adhesive layer to pass through the support and be lost from the back face thereof to decrease the content thereof is preferable. Examples of such support include single films such as polyester, nylon, saran (registered trade mark), polyethylene, polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride, ethylene-ethyl acrylate copolymer, polytetrafluoroethylene, Surlyn (registered trade mark) and the like, metal foil, a laminate film of two or more kinds of films selected therefrom and the like. The thickness of the support is preferably 2-100 μm, more preferably 2-50 μm.

The patch and the patch preparation of the present invention preferably have a release liner laminated on the adhesive face until use so that the adhesive face of the adhesive layer can be protected. The release liner is not particularly limited as long as it permits a peel treatment and can ensure a sufficiently light release force. For example, a release liner obtained by subjecting a substrate made of a plastic film formed from one or more kinds of plastic selected from a group consisting of polyester (e.g., poly(ethylene terephthalate) etc.), polyvinyl chloride, polyvinyldene chloride fine paper, paper such as glassine paper and the like; or a laminate film wherein fine paper or glassine and the like and a polyolefin film etc. are laminated, to a peel treatment by applying a silicone resin, fluororesin and the like to a surface of the substrate to be in contact with the adhesive layer is used. From the aspects of barrier property and cost, a release liner having a substrate made from a polyester (particularly, poly(ethylene terephthalate)) film is preferable. The thickness of the release liner is generally 10-200 μm, preferably 25-100 μm.

The shape of the patch and the patch preparation of the present invention is not particularly limited and includes, for example, a sheet, a film, a reservoir type and the like.

The patch and the patch preparation of the present invention can be produced by, for example, dissolving the first synthetic rubber, an organic fluid component having high polarity (the first organic fluid component), a tackifier and magnesium aluminometasilicate (further, a drug in the patch preparation) together with other components added as necessary in a suitable solvent such as toluene and the like, dispersing magnesium aluminometasilicate, applying the obtained coating liquid of a composition for forming an adhesive layer onto a release liner, drying same to form an adhesive layer, and laminating a support on the adhesive layer.

In addition, the patch and the patch preparation of the present invention can be produced by, for example, directly applying the above-mentioned coating liquid of a composition for forming an adhesive layer to a support, and drying same to form an adhesive layer on a support.

The patch and the patch preparation of the present invention can be used by peeling off the release liner immediately before use and adhering the exposed adhesive face to a skin surface and the like.

As shown in Table 11, the composition for forming an adhesive layer, which contained Glycerin as an organic fluid component having high polarity (angle on organic conceptual diagram 79°) showed separation of glycerin in the toluene solution, and a uniform adhesive layer could not be prepared. However, when it contained not less than 2.5% of Neusilin, a uniform adhesive layer could be prepared and the adhesive force became high. As shown in Table 12, a powder other than Neusilin failed to form a uniform adhesive layer due to the coagulation of powder or separation of Glycerin in the toluene solution of the composition for forming an adhesive layer.
